By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Dec. 16, 2010 @ 12:01 am By The Associated Press Posted Dec. 16, 2010 @ 12:01 am » Social News DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki was having a sub-par game. Then the fourth quarter started. Nowitzki scored 12 of his 21 points in the final quarter, Caron Butler matched his season high with 23 points and the Dallas Mavericks got back on track with a 103-98 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night. Jason Terry added 13 points for the Mavericks, whose 12-game winning streak was snapped by the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. Dallas-area native LaMarcus Aldridge scored 20 of his season-high 35 points in the fourth quarter and Wesley Matthews added 17 for the Blazers, who lost their third in a row. Portland rallied from a 17-point third-quarter deficit, tying it at 93 with 2:07 left on Aldridge's reverse layup. But Nowitzki hit a 6-footer with 1:49 remaining to give Dallas the lead for good. Nowitzki had six points during an 8-2 run capped by his 19-footer with 29.9 seconds left for a 101-95 lead. He accounted for 12 of Dallas' final 19 points, starting with a layup and a pair of free throws. Terry converted two free throws with 12.7 seconds remaining for the final margin. Dallas was up 63-46 in the third quarter on Jason Kidd's 3-pointer. But the Blazers later had an 11-0 run and eventually trimmed the Mavericks' lead to 78-68 by the start of the fourth. Butler carried the offensive load with nine straight points for his team during one third-quarter stretch and scored a total of 11 in the quarter. Meanwhile, Matthews had 13 third-quarter points for Portland. Aldridge made the game tight down the stretch, hitting eight of 10 shots and pulling down six rebounds in the final quarter. "When we win it's special," Aldridge said of returning to his hometown. "Losing is never special. We had a chance there at the end. Dirk made two really tough shots — that's what he does." Notes: Portland C Joel Przybilla was assessed a technical in the second quarter when he fouled J.J. Barea on a drive, hitting Barea in the head. Barea wasn't injured on the play. ... Dallas has won 20 of the last 25 meetings between the teams. ... Portland won twice in Dallas last season, with Andre Miller scoring a career-high 52 points on Jan. 30. Miller had nine points Wednesday night. ... Portland's 14 first-quarter points were the low for an opening quarter by the Blazers, and by a Mavs opponent this season.
